Hello all
Would like to ask any of you working with oncology patients if you have
any knowledge of the efficacy of compression pumps vis a vis manual
lymph drainage in the prevention of lymphadoema. This pertains to a 37
year old mother of four who underwent a level 3 axillar dissection
followed by radiation to the breast and axilla 18 months ago who
occassionally gets some swelling distally iin that extremity. Any
thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Suzanne
